So many things get in the way. Mom’s in the hospital with pneumonia. We built Chunguita’s heron fountain this morning. It’s her science fair project, and it was my suggestion. There’s laundry to fold, bathrooms to clean, yard work, dishes. The kids are playing and fighting. DH is watching a movie.

I am working on a bra. It’s almost finished. I want to alter the pattern after this one. I’m a plunging V neckline kinda girl, and this bra is NOT for the low cut shirts.

I just discovered the GPP Street Team’s crusades. I decided to go back to the First Crusade. It’s from 3 years ago, but the latest crusades tend to draw on stuff from earlier crusades, so what the heck, I decided to go back to the beginning. I’m hoping to be able to do this crusade today, but it’s not looking good. I’ve got to cut up the week’s salad veggies and get a boiled dinner going etc etc whine whine.

Oh, and I can’t find my cupcake book, and I didn’t get to the test, so next week I’m going to wing making a pull apart cake from cupcakes. Chunguita wants a frenchie, and Pulguito wants a raccoon.

Yo peso demasiado.

Yo trabajo en el departamento de fiabilidad.

Pulguito crawled under the house with DH. He was very helpful.

Latest creation

I haven’t had time or energy for much sewing. The shirt to the left is from last fall.

Currently, I’m working on a new bra. So far I’ve got the cups cutout and pinned together.

The new New Look patterns for Spring 2010 are out. I’ve always liked New Look. Their styles appeal to me, and they are drafted for an erect upper back (that would be me) and have more room in the upper arm (me, again). They used to have a centerback seam in many of their designs. I liked that, too, since my rear protrudes. These are a couple of the patterns that appeal to me.

6946 Misses Skirts, Pants or Shorts – I like the shorts, but not sure about the pleat
6934 Misses Dresses – sheath that I like, but do I already have a pattern like this?
